Environment friendly alternatives to meet the needs of many industrial production processes
Liquid Nitrogen (LIN) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are extremely effective cooling agents due to the low boiling point, which makes them environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional cooling processes, which often involve potentially harmful refrigerants, large quantities of water or dust and fumes. In addition, LIN and CO2 are environmentally sound alternatives to conventional cooling processes, which often involve potentially harmful refrigerants, large quantities of water or dust and fumes. Because they are inert, these gases also eliminate the risk of fire or explosion.
Did you know?
- ● Nitrogen and carbon dioxide are inert gases, which also eliminates the risk of fire or explosion.
- ● Liquid nitrogen (LIN) and carbon dioxide (CO2) are extremely effective cooling agents due to the
low boiling point of LIN
(–196 °C) and the low sublimation point of CO2 (–78.5 °C). - ● At –79 °C liquid carbon dioxide converts to solid, which is also known as dry ice, is a flexible, easy-to-use cooling medium.
Providing rapid freezing and cooling capabilities for many industrial production processes
LIN and CO2 are commonly used to ease productivity and enhance quality in concrete mixing, asphalt paving,
ground
freezing, rubber hose production, glass production, plastic film blowing, grinding, welding and machining.
Cryogenic condensation with LIN is also an effective way of purifying waste air and recovering valuable volatile
organic compounds (VOC).
In the manufacture of aluminium, dross cooling with argon eliminates fumes and dust, while increasing recovery
rates. The benefits of LIN in extrusion plants include higher production rates, improved surface finish and
increased die lifetime.
